One of the last of the great romantic actors in the United States, Richard Mansfield achieved fame in the late 1800s for portrayals of various Shakespearean characters. Vintage ink signature, “Richard Mansfield,” on an off-white 4.75 x 2.5 sheet clipped from personal stationery. In fine condition, with light toning and trimmed edges. Accompanied by an unsigned copy of an image of Mansfield in his 1888 role as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde; a role he played so well, that a theatre-goer called him in as a suspect in the Jack the Ripper case, claiming no one could switch personas so quickly and fluidly without being in some way homicidal!
